america's top model

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL “Highlights and Catfights” Cycle Sixteen of “America’s Next Top Model is more than halfway over.

Next week the remaining five girls arrive in Morocco, and soon one lucky girl will have her career launched in Italian Vogue, and not just with one, but two fashion spreads, and the cover of Beauty in Vogue.

And did I mention that she’ll also receive a one hundred thousand dollar contract with Cover Girl?

Beginning with a huge twist when the girls showed up for casting week, so far it’s been one dramatic cycle of ANTM.

Don’t talk to me like that.

How you talk to me is annoying.

And I don’t give a damn what you think of me.

But if you missed anything, you’re in luck; because tonight we’re gonna catch you up on all the fierce fashion events, and all that other freaky stuff that you did not get to see along the way.

Is something happening?

I need my mom.

I’m not And we’ll check in on Cycle Fifteen’s winner, Ann.

So don’t go away, all.

The Cycle Sixteen mid-season recap begins now.

This cycle we did away with that same old casting week in order to get right into the competition on day one.

And in case you missed those Panels, here’s a look back on some very interesting girls that did not make the cut.

My favorite designer is Hello Kitty.

Whoo, I can smyes, like with my eyes.

I’m doing it.

My name is Angora, Nylandra, Taffatia, Michaels.

I’m not here to make friends.

What do I have that the other girls don’t have?

Hello.

Look, let me start off by saying I don’t want to be here.

I am my art.

I’m not a cookie cutter.

I cut the cookies, and I’ll cut you.

Better luck next time, ladies.

I brought out thirty-two girls to LA.

Hi, everybody.

But this time we made our decisions behind the scenes.

Before telling them, we decided to throw a little curve ball to see what these girls are really made of.

Go ahead, open them.

Obviously they were looking for something else, and I just wasn’t it.

So it doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop.

But don’t worry.

We let them off the hook quickly.

So, unfortunately, you guys have to go home now, but you don’t have to go far because you’re home! You guys are the fourteen! The cast of Cycle Sixteen moved into their new penthouse loft on day one of the competition.

Oh.

Oh, my god, it’s a bathroom! Whoo! Whoo! Oh, my god, it’s a closet.

Oh, my god.

We saw this zebra and this leopard and this animal jungle thing, and it was kind of like, where are we?

This is mine.

This is mine.

Go get your pendulum.

It’s so much fun.

Once everyone was settled in, what you never saw was resident hippy

Hannah working her magic crystal.

Look at this, guys.

That’s ‘cause I’m not doing anything.

Oh, my god.

What does that mean?

I have a pendulum.

It’s a little crystal that hangs on a metal chain.

It was like tracking people’s chakras.

We have them all over our body, and I think it all’s has to do with your aura.

Show me yes.

What the hell?

! It was I swear to god.

Show me no.

It went from spinning to swinging.

It was insane.

So we started checking like other chakras points on the body.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, do Jaclyn.

Jaclyn.

We want to do an experiment on you.

Can we do an experiment on you?

I was sound asleep, and all of a sudden the girls run in there, and they get me out of bed, and they lay me on the table, and Hannah gets out her voodoo looking crystal ball thing.

Don’t move.

Oh, it’s going in a circle.

And they were trying to see what it would do, since I’m a virgin, to see if it

would shake.

Oh, my god, Jaclyn.

Jaclyn.

I was very uncomfortable laying on that table.

It was kind of awkward, ‘cause we eat on that table.

I’m going back to bed.

It didn’t take long before Dominique rallied the models to put their new runway to good use.

I’m gonna give you guys a challenge.

I want to see you work your runway.

But.

.

we have one more surprise for you.

You’re not just rocking the runway in clothes in paper bags! We all kind of like invented our own little outfits, basically made them out of paper bags.

We did this runway show, and it was amazing.

Sara, myself and Nicole were all judges, and Dominique was both Miss J.

and Mr Jay.

When did we start walking backwards?

Honey chile’, I don’t know.

The first challenge of Cycle Sixteen was also a runway, but this runway was just twelve inches wide.

And instead of modeling plastic bags, the girls had to work some plastic bubbles.

But first the girls had a backstage photo shoot with the one and only Russell James.

Beautiful.

Russell was trying to capture those seemingly candid moments as models get ready before a fashion show.

Gorgeous there.

Beautiful.

Both Molly and Brittani made it seem effortless.

You know what?

Just look to me here, sweetie.

Meanwhile, Dominique and Angelea struggled with being natural in front of the camera.

After the shoot, the girls put on a slightly more difficult fashion show than the one from the night before.

Let’s just say there was some trouble bubble I mean, bubble trouble.

Oh, somebody get me out of this freakin’ bubble.

.

I fell.

How did you get up?

I rolled myself, and then got up.

Did you have to get up by yourself?

Yeah.

Oh, shut up.

Yeah.

At the first Panel, Dominique and Angelea found themselves in the bottom, but it was Angelea whose photo failed to say ‘model’, and she was eliminated.

Coming up, Ondrei falls out.

Ondrei, are you okay?

Is something happening?

What happened?

Girl, are you tired?

In this never before seen footage, America’s sweetheart, Miss Jaclyn, turns the big twooh.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you.

I would pick a card over anything.

Jaclyn, I want to put her in my bag and just carry her around like a puppy, like she’s so cute.

We wish it could be more.

I don’t want to cry.

Jaclyn is the sweetest little baby ever.

I’m not patronizing her at all, but she, she’s like, “I wanna be a woman.

” You only turn twenty-one, so I’m gonna be a real woman.

I’m a woman now, and I’m a beautiful, strong young woman.

Jaclyn may think she’s a woman now.

Dang it.

But she reverted right back into a child when faced with housekeeping.

I need my mom.

I can’t make my bed.

Monique.

Monique.

I need you to help me make my bed.

Jaclyn is kind of getting on my nerves.

Monique.

Can you wait a second?

She was probably a very sheltered child growing up, and I mean, she’s twenty years old.

Yes?

I need you to help me put my sheets on my bed.

Dude, I hate putting sheets on beds.

I can’t get these on here.

I wasn’t even gonna put mine on.

She has a really cute look, but I don’t think she is strong enough to make it.

I can’t get these on here right.

While Jaclyn was concerned with becoming a woman, Monique was worried about having a little too much womanly appeal.

It sounds so funny, but I don’t know how to not be sexy, I guess.

You know, you got body.

You got all this kind of going on, and there’s a lot to play with.

.

The Jay’s keep telling me like, “Hey, Miss Sexy,” and I’m like, “Oh, that’s right, like I gotta work on that.

” It’s not like a real compliment.

When you’re trying to model and be curvy, it’s hard.

I don’t think Monique’s gonna make it the whole way, solely because she is too sexy.

You have like the best body I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

Right.

No way.

She told me herself, she wants to do Victoria’s Secret, and we’re not here to do Victoria’s Secret.

We’re here to do Italian Vogue.

Monique is just like so voluptuous.

Like she has all the ass for days.

Having like a booty is just kind of like It’s just kind of stressful.

The next photo shoot had everybody buzzing, as the girls posed in jewelry covered in live bees to capture an edgy beauty shot.

Good.

Oh, my gosh, it’s stunning! Monique and Kasia impressed Jay with their strong poses and piercing eye contact, despite those distracting little insects.

Meanwhile, Nicole’s shoot lacked energy.

Hey, Nicole, your eyes look extremely sleepy.

Okay.

It’s like, is she awake?

And Ondrei seemed lost, as if her attention were elsewhere.

Hey, Ondrei.

.

Yes?

You are just going through the motions right now.

During the photo shoot today, I was just like, I was here, but I wasn’t here.

You know what I mean?

Back at the loft, Ondrei confided that she was having a hard time coping with the recent death of her brother, and that she was debating whether or not to leave the competition to be with her family.

You want to make the right decision.

But during a teach the next day, the pressure got to be too much for her.

You’ve just learned today, you can eat really good food, and you can feel your best.

Ondrei, are you okay?

Is something happening?

Are you okay?

What is going on?

What happened?

Girl, are you okay?

Ondrei is like laying on the ground, and I’m like, “What is going on?

” You feel hot?

Can I take this off?

Yeah.

Okay.

I don’t know what the heck happened to me.

I have never fainted in my whole entire life, but I did then.

Okay, I’m gonna call a doctor though, okay?

I want a doctor to see you, okay?

I’m just mainly a little worried, ‘cause she doesn’t look so good.

Ondrei’s nerves seemed to be getting the best of her, so at Panel she told the judges she was ready to go home.

But there still was an elimination to face.

And, unfortunately, Nicole’s mature beyond her years appearance in her photos was just not inspiring the judges, and Nicole was sent home.

Sara was definitely a character this cycle.

Sharon.

I am a woman.

I have hairy legs.

That’s how it is.

Hey, Monique, good morning.

Oh, my god.

She’s the type of unique girls with an unusual look that I love for Top Model.

And the girls all loved her quirks, with the exception of Dominique, who cannot get past her trademark finger wag.

I really want to try that steamy stuff we’re supposed to do.

I’ve seen that.

Yeah, it’s like a little worm.

I look Sara is.

.

different.

I’m just saying you look a little stupid.

Dominique, when you do the whole, “I’m so Dominique and I can do this, and I don’t need you.

” Uh, you look stupid.

It’s mean.

Don’t be mean.

I’m a clown.

I like to make people laugh.

But if you’re just talking to me, and you just want to start some trouble, you’re gonna get trouble, and it’s gonna come with a table leg.

You know what I mean?

Dominique, I really like you as a person, and when you do that it makes me want to kick you in the vagina.

Don’t kick me in the vagina, because I will kick you in your head.

Hey, what the hell is that?

As makeovers drew near The talk surrounding everyone’s looks took over the house.

Molly is so high maintenance.

My feet are dirty, and I look nasty.

Uh, my skin, it’s so bumpy.

Really, really hot.

If Molly doesn’t like her haircut, she’s gonna bitch about it for-ever.

When the day arrived, as Hannah had worried, Molly had difficulty with one of the most challenging makeover looks in Top Model history.

If I don’t get the taken out of my head tomorrow, there’s gonna be I will rip it off of my head.

But it was Alexandria who proved high maintenance.

There’s some flat pieces, and there’s some squished round pieces.

There’s I know what they’re supposed to look like.

They’re supposed to be perfectly round, where they’re like beads.

Who does that?

Like, they’re the hairdresser, not you.

It’ll be fine.

I don’t like fake hair.

I want it to be looking okay for this.

And finally, the real success of the day was Brittani’s new chic bob.

Good look.

Thank you.

The next photo shoot showcased the model’s makeovers as well as some fashion couture, and was styled by the infinitely talented Lori Goldstein, and shot by the incredible Pamela Hamm.

.

Not only were the clothes extra special this day, but as always Lori worked her magic spending extra time with each and every girl, perfecting their looks.

What do we have that would puff this out?

I really want this to come out here.

So the volume is what’s gonna make this picture.

Okay, go.

You look fabulous.

Despite her disappointment about her hair, Molly came through beautifully in her shoot with Kasia.

I like your body language, Molly, it’s good.

By now Molly has definitely overcome her ‘makeover ordeal’.

.

That’s nice, Molly.

And although Alexandria seemed to need an attitude adjustment happened?

What

Her lip is swelling up for some reason.

Does it hurt?

Let me see.

No.

She and Monique delivered on one great shot after another.

I think we have it.

Awesome.

Meanwhile, it was Dominique who could not keep up with her partners that day.

Dominique, I’m not gonna lie.

Do you know what the worst thing a model could not have is inspiration.

At Panel the judges agreed that Dominique was not proving herself dynamic enough to cut it as a top model, and she was sent home.

Coming up, Alexandria busts a rhyme.

I’m not a chump, I’m a champ, and I’m in it to win it.

Word.

I got the natural born swagger, that’s never forget it.

Word.

The girls were on fire at the next runway challenge.

.

No, literally on fire.

You will be walking with your hands actually on fire.

We’re going to be holding flames in our hands.

That’s crazy.

Brittani, Molly and Dalya looked smoking hot on that catwalk.

But Kasia and Sara were running on fumes that night.

And Miss J.

was not pleased.

For their next shoot, the girls turned to actresses selling Fierce Roast Coffee in a campy sixties themed commercial, directed by sexy Francesco Carrozzini.

Quiet on the set.

Action.

Doesn’t Fierce Roast Coffee smell delicious.

And mark.

Action.

Doesn’t the bold taste last four times longer than any other coffee on the market?

Mr Drysdale, are you okay, sir?

Kasia rose to the occasion, like a pro, redeeming herself after her loss at the runway challenge.

Mr Drysdale, are you okay, sir?

Cut.

Very good, Kasia.

Thank you.

Here with Brittani, Alexandria took control of their group, and the set, and anything else she saw fit to manage.

She was busy doing Francesco’s job, she was doing my job.

I don’t think that we got a shot of us pouring the coffee, though.

Should I just have my hand, though, taking it away right there?

Don’t look back over here, ‘cause I’m not there anymore.

And then she’s like checking the lighting.

I swear, the gaffers were almost nervous that Alexandria was checking out the lights.

I was really just trying to help out.

I know, but if you do that on a real commercial, they’re gonna tell you, go, go home.

Meanwhile, Sara struggled with the theme of the day and could not get into character.

Any ideas?

Sara, what was that?

I’m finding it really hard to fake any sort of sexual energy and emotion.

I’ve never had to fake anything like that in my life.

Will Sara and Alexandria please step forward?

At the next elimination the judges agreed that Sara’s performance in the commercial was the worst of the day.

And you all know how it goes.

Sara was sent home.

Now no one would know by just looking at her that Kasia is actually the oldest girl in the competition.

I’m twenty-six, but nobody ever believes me because I do look a lot younger.

Like I don’t want people to see me and be like, “She’s twenty-six.

” You’re twenty-six?

I thought you were like nineteen or twenty.

I am in total shock.

She has a younger face.

Most of the girls told me they thought I was like when they first met me, they thought I was one of the younger ones, and it’s like shocking to them.

She does not look that old.

Yeah, I know.

I had no idea.

I would guess twenty, twentyone.

Twenty-six.

Twenty-six years old.

Do you know how old she is?

She’s twentysix, and she has the best skin out of all of us.

So how does she keep her skin so perfect?

Well, I drink tons of water all the time; two nights a week I exfoliate; then I will put a serum on, or something a little more potent; then a good eye cream; sometimes I put a little vitamin E oil on my face.

So, just you know, different things.

And I’ve asked her, and she’s like, “Well, I use different things.

” If I used different things on my face every night, do you know how many pimples I would have?

I hate her.

The models had a Cover Girl challenge, working in groups to come up with their own videos, highlighting the latest and the greatest products.

Each girl was assigned a role, and almost everybody worked well together.

Well, then do it.

Well, I figured you guys are trying to write the whole thing.

No, I’m not trying to do it.

I’m just Let me practice, please.

We’re supposed to be a team.

Yeah, right, you’re not letting us be a team, dude.

I’m just trying to learn my lines, and you guys are supposed to be doing.

Yeah, and then we ask for something or try to talk about it, you’re like, “Shut up.

” But what you never saw was the directors getting together back home to talk a little smack about their teams.

Then she starts freaking out, and she’s like, “You’re making me look like a

bitch.

” I’m like, “You’re acting snotty.

” I’m just trying to learn my lines, and you guys are supposed to be doing Yeah, and then when we ask you something or try to talk about it, you’re like “Let me learn my lines”, and you get snappy with us.

Dalya looks great, and she was rehearsing so well with us, but as soon as like the cameras started rolling, ah, it just fell apart.

Yeah.

She just started like vomiting from the mouth and like just trying to sell it so hard.

You told me don’t say bold, though.

That’s what the product is.

Me and Jaclyn totally could have done that.

We totally could have gone up there.

Alexandria has not been the most popular girl in the house, but that did not stop her from busting a rhyme to keep he spirits high.

I’m not a chump, I’m a champ, and I’m in it to win it.

Word.

Got that natural born swagger, let’s never forget it.

Word.

And if you need me to show you, well, I guess I could.

Word.

Be as easy as another doing the hood.

P-lease.

The girls got catty at the next photo shoot when they posed with a real jaguar.

Murato, there’s of little girls here.

Oh, my god, I’m gonna cry.

Yeah, look guys, I got a little baby jaguar.

Look.

Murato is going to be in your photo shoot with you guys.

Oh, great.

I’m not really a cat person, like I hate cats.

But that’s not really a cat, you know.

It’s a jaguar.

Beautiful.

Hannah got in touch with her wild side that day, giving fierce couture faux fur in shot after shot.

The shots are amazing.

I mean it was just right in the zone.

Meanwhile, Molly was swallowed up by her hair and did not seem to emote anything but annoyance.

What is he doing?

And Dalya overthought her shoot, becoming suddenly self-conscious and stiff in front of the camera.

It was just a struggle, I’m not gonna lie.

It was a struggle today.

Okay.

Thank you.

At Panel, the judges found Dalya’s photos to be a bit ‘amateurish’ for this late in the competition, and she was eliminated.

Coming up, the models are star struck.

Sorry.

Usher walks by me, looks me right in the eyes and says “Ey”, and I almost peed my pants.

Miss Jaclyn was a refined young lady from the south, and she was not pleased with the mouths of the other girls this cycle so she took matters into her own hands.

I created this swear jar because a lot of the girls have very bad potty mouths, and it is pretty ridiculous sometimes.

Everybody’s psychotic.

going to the left or the right?

People are not supposed to have this All I hear is like about chicken.

something

And all I’m At this rate, Jaclyn’s gonna get rich before the end of the competition.

Can we say ?

The girls met their public at a fan challenge that tested their ability to mingle in the spotlight.

I’m Hannah.

And I know you all remember this guy.

Are you like web on websites?

No.

I know people here, if you wanted to do stuff like that.

But you never saw some of the other awkward fan moments from that day, until now.

Would you like a picture?

Absolutely, of all of you.

Of course.

Sell them on Ebay for a couple dollars.

Can I see Can I touch?

You can touch my hair?

You want to taste it?

No, I was like That’s a hot picture of you.

Thank you.

Hey, I didn’t, I didn’t think that was you, actually.

As winner of the challenge, Kasia invited Brittani and Jaclyn to an exclusive dinner with the ever fabulous Miss J.

And as this new footage reveals, Jaclyn was hoping Miss J would play matchmaker.

You see this face?

I might look innocent, but when it comes to flirting, I will flirt.

So if you have any people in mind that would like a girl that A nice southern girl.

I just want a nice, respectable gentleman.

What kind of wallet should he have?

A leather one.

Meanwhile, back at the loft, Alexandria was also spending the evening with Miss J.

, in her mind.

I love Miss J.

I would have got there, and I would have been like, “Uuh.

Okay, Miss J.

, can we just sit outside and talk?

” It’s okay.

I’ll have dinner with Miss J.

in Paris, where he lives.

It’s really obnoxious.

She needs to learn to shut up sometimes.

I would have been like, “You know what, Miss J?

Let’s go on the San Trope and have a nice glass of wine and talk about fashion.

” Seriously.

.

?

The next shoot brought the models closer together, and they got a little dirty, too.

Do the blondes rule?

Yeah.

First up were the blondes.

I love that interacting.

Gorgeous.

Gorgeous.

Hannah and Molly were in sync and produced one smoldering shot after another.

The brunettes also managed to make the mud look seductive that day.

Brittani distinguished herself from the pack with her effortless posing, while sexy Monique had trouble sustaining her ‘model pretty’ during the shoot.

Chin up more.

See what I’m trying to find for you, Monique, is the stretch.

You’d see this little switch go off, click, that turns her from model to pretty

woman.

With the competition nearly half over, tensions mounted before the next elimination.

For Alexandria, this pressure became a literal pain.

Ow! I can’t stand up straight.

Oh, my god.

Can anybody crack a back?

Alexandria, she has this back problem.

Apparently that developed today.

She’s screaming and whining and moaning every five minutes because something hurts her back.

I’m ready for her to go home, and if she does not go home at the next Panel, I’m not gonna be a very happy camper.

At Panel the judges were impressed with both the blondes and the brunettes.

But in the end it was Monique who was not standing out in her group, and

the judges saw a pretty girl week after week, but not always a model.

So you know what that means.

She was sent home.

The girls were sad to see Mo-Mo go, but they weren’t down for long, after a brief encounter of the celebrity kind in their own lobby.

We just saw Usher

Usher and P-Diddy, two of the biggest celebrity’s legends in existence.

What, what, what, work.

Sorry.

Usher walks by me and looks me right in the eyes and says, “Ey”, and I almost peed my pants.

He said hey to us.

He said hey to us! The only topic more compelling to these ladies than Diddy and Usher is our very own Miss J.

Alexander.

I’ve been calling Ms.

J.

she.

I don’t think he cares, but I think it’s a he.

.

31 I think it’s a he.

And Mr Miss J I mean, sorry.

Excuse me.

Mr J.

or Miss J.

, sorry.

Well, it’s really he, ‘cause it’s Mr J.

I don’t know.

Like he first comes off as a bitch I don’t think he would care either way.

The models competed in a photo shoot challenge, shot by Nigel, for Ford’s breast cancer awareness campaign called Warriors in Pink.

What are you thinking about right now?

Beating the crap out of breast cancer.

The opportunity to represent such a meaningful cause, and a nationwide campaign, and to win a car, had the models more determined than ever to win.

I want to win the challenge so bad.

You know, just the chance to really be a role model, it’s a huge deal.

That’s beautiful.

We got it.

We’re good.

But when Nigel declared Alexandria the winner and revealed that she’d also be going home with that flossy new ride, a two thousand twelve Ford Focus, courtesy of Ford, the other girls were beyond jealous.

In fact, they were pissed.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

I just want someone that deserves it.

I can hear you.

I don’t care if you can hear me.

It should have .

That’s really rude.

like ten weeks ago.

That’s not nice.

We don’t We don’t care.

While most of the girls were busy hating on Alexandria, what you did not see was the extent to which Hannah was melting down as a result of a critique from Nigel.

It wasn’t that memorable for me.

I just hate being called unmemorable.

It just really sucks.

What am I supposed to do about being unmemorable?

I keep getting that feedback over and over again.

It’s just pissing me off.

I don’t know how to be, be memorable.

I feel like who I am is enough.

I don’t want to be the girl next door if that means I’m just the girl next door, ‘cause I’m more than that I’m so much more than that, you know.

The day after the Susan G.

Komen Breast Cancer Awareness photo shoot, the girls’ resentment of Alexandria was at an all time high.

I can’t believe she won a car yesterday, dude.

Really?

The backstabbing started in the morning.

I gave her more chances than she deserved.

And went on well into the night.

If it were like a liquor add, I mean, okay, she could be the good role model for that.

And the girls think that it should go to someone more deserving.

Quite frankly, they don’t know me.

She should have gone home this week.

I’m glad Brittani told her how it is.

I was like, “Yeah”.

I get a brand new two thousand twelve car from Ford.

I was like, “What?

” Me, too.

That was literally like extra fudge and extra cherries on top of the sundae that I already had.

That was like the cherry on top of up sundae.

The next photo shoot was on the Universal back lot set of the notorious Bates Hotel and Psycho house, where the girls went crazy for sets.

Sweet little Jaclyn shocked Jay, by turning out a truly inspired shoot as a woman mad for make-up.

You’re actually kind of giving me crazy quite naturally.

Are you a little crazy?

You’re right, that’s great.

I’m not crazy in real life, though.

Crazy for make-up.

You’re not?

No at least I don’t think I am.

Meanwhile, Mikeala’s portrayal of a shopping fanatic fell flat, despite it being a theme almost every girl can relate to.

I feel like you’re just looking and going, “I don’t know what to do.

” There’s just so much stuff, exactly.

Yeah.

Allow the set to serve you.

That’s a wrap, everybody.

We’re good.

At Panel there was plenty of drama due to Alexandria’s still very controversial challenge win and Brittani’s inability to let it go.

We all kind of think that you really chose the wrong spokesperson.

What you have done is probably one of the weakest things that a role model could do.

The judges were not pleased with what appeared to be unapologetic attitude from Brittani, which caused her to panic and flee the judging.

When it came time for deliberation, the panel had plenty to consider.

I vote for Brittani to stay.

I vote for Brittani to stay.

And I don’t agree with you guys.

But so did the girls in the holding room.

If you guys did have a problem with me, you should have came to me.

No, and then you, when Brittani was publicly humiliating me, you stood there with your arms crossed and smiled, and that’s when I saw a different Jaclyn, a really mean, cold-hearted Jaclyn.

Come on.

You guys all want me to go home, but here’s the thing; I’m still here.

I still very much want this.

Brittani found herself in the bottom two for her unbecoming attitude and lack of good sportsmanship.

Ultimately, I was overruled by the other judges, and Brittani was allowed to

remain in the competition, despite my feeling that her attitude merited elimination.

I have a serious issue with how these judges voted.

It was Mikeala whose lack of intensity in her eyes and blah photos finally caught up with her.

Coming up, we catch up with last cycle’s winner, Ann.

After the elimination, everyone was walking on eggshells.

Alexandria and the girls all agreed it was time to put the past behind them and to start with a clean slate.

I want to start by saying like can we kind of like just clear the plate and start over?

There is a part of you that I really like and feel like we could be good friends.

Absolutely.

And then there’s part of you that obviously Which there’s part of you which I’ve never seen you explode like that.

Right, obviously.

And apologize for exploding.

Thank you for apologizing.

Alexandria and I, we kind of hashed it out, and I apologized for making the decisions I did and how I acted.

But what she did, almost unforgivable.

You know, can I trust them?

I’m not dumb.

Let’s hug this out.

But I am a forgiver.

And while Brittani worried about her future in the competition you deserve to be here.

Prove that

And I’m really ashamed of myself for letting that happen, but I know I have what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model, as far as the modeling part goes.

she found time to let off steam with her new best friend, Alexandria.

What, what, what, money.

What, what, bam.

Money, money, money, money.

The next day I met up with the girls and told them where they’d be traveling this cycle.

Hi, ladies.

Five of them, at least.

I need you to see where you’ll be going overseas.

You know I’m opening my book, I’m thinking, “Oh, my lord, let’s just get these letters on the ground and put them together.

I want to know where we’re going.

” M-O.

It’s Morocco.

It’s Morocco.

Give me give.

Give me five.

Give me five.

Which led to more bonding between Brittani and Alexandria.

.

And while everyone had to decide what to pack and what to leave behind, Molly had a special dilemma.

I wonder what I should do with my hair.

She’d grown especially attached to her old weave.

I birthed a little child today.

In the history of “America’s Next Top Model” no one has ever had the hair issues Molly had.

Twisted Sister?

It was makeover drama.

Sometimes even our best laid plans don’t work out.

Turns out Molly’s baby fine hair just could not take this kind of weave.

No, Molly, it’s really pretty.

I’m not even gonna do anything.

They’re gonna take this out tomorrow, or I’m gonna freak out.

I will cut it out of my head.

My whole head hurts.

I will rip it off of my head.

And I’m pissed off.

And when I saw it in panel, I felt her pain.

Now, Molly, your weave is looking a little crazy.

It’s a weave malfunction going on right now, and well, we’ll have to do something about that if you stick around.

Well, Molly did stay, so we took it out.

It’s out.

Uuh.

And what does the future hold for this blonde baby?

I’m gonna send this home and have them make a sweater out of it, maybe.

And after packing for their trip, the girls went on go-sees.

Okay, so I am so tired of girls on Top Model never getting to their go-see destinations, so what did we do this time?

We hired the girls drivers.

I’m Alexandria.

Hi, John.

Hi.

Hi.

I’m Hannah.

You’re going.

And now you would think that would mean that they got to their appointments on time, right?

No way.

Which way?

Go that way.

Jaclyn got hopelessly lost.

Well, this is the one-oh-one north.

No, we need to go this way.

Brittani, too.

Are we going straight, or are we going left?

We’re going straight.

That way?

I mean, left, left, left.

Over here.

Molly just got angrier and angrier.

Hill.

Hill.

Hill.

I hate my life.

I officially hate it.

And who triumphed?

Alexandria, who just charmed just about everybody That’s Alexandria.

Alexandria.

Alexandria, it was my pleasure.

and landed a world-wide Lana Marks ad campaign.

Yes.

Some of the girls were down in the dumps after this challenge, but all of them ended up there for the photo shoot, modeling ecoconscious designs by Michael Cinco.

They showed their grit, bringing attention to the place where all our waste ends up, the county land fill.

Throw the head back.

Drama.

This is disgusting.

But one model was less than pleased with this shoot location.

It smells horrible.

There are birds everywhere.

Does anyone have a bee-bee gun?

The problem with Molly is, is that when you bring the camera down sometimes you’re gonna get a girl that’s gonna be complaining, gonna be angry about it.

This is unsanitary.

Then it was time for judging.

Alexandria.

And while Alexandria soared, Molly’s attitude and Jaclyn’s inexperience held them back.

Who stays in this competition?

In the end

Molly.

The judges felt that for all her southern sweetness, Jaclyn was not ready to be a top model, and she was eliminated.

Five girls are left competing for the title of America’s Next Top Model.

Now speaking of winners, we recently caught up with Cycle Fifteen winner, Ann Ward.

You already saw her Cover Girl ad and her Beauty in Vogue spread in Italy.

But since we last saw her, Ann was flown to Paris to shoot with famed photographer, Ellen Von Unwer, for her March spread in Vogue Italia.

Now Ann’s living the model life in New York City, and she’s joined the elite ranks as an IMG model.

To see more of Ann’s Vogue Italia shoot, go to Vogue dot i.

So five beautiful girls are headed to Morocco.

Who will win it all?

Will it be Molly, our athletic blonde who has hung on through many bad hair days I might be able to win this whole thing.

Kasia, our fiercely real girl with more experience than the other girls combined I should be in Italian Vogue.

I would kill for that.

Hannah, our free spirited Texas girl who stands out in photos, but not yet in front of the judges America’s Next Top Model.

Numero Uno.

Alexandria, our California surfer girl who was frequently misunderstood, but recently redeemed herself.

Me.

or Brittani, our intense brunette from a trailer park in Pennsylvania?

If you’re from a trailer park, you can be on “America’s Next Top Model.

” Only one of these girls will become America’s Next Top Model.

Which one will it be?

We shall see what happens, hmm.

You don’t want to miss a minute when Top Model heads to Morocco.

Next Wednesday the models hit the road to Morocco.

I’m getting chills right now.

But will this shoot be the straw that broke one model’s back?

What do you think you can do to let go?

Direct myself.

That’s the problem.

I think you’re overdirecting.

I just did the most stupid thing.

“America’s Next Top Model”, all new next Wednesday at its new time, nine, eight Central, on the C.
